Scale Model Mode & Model Interaction

When you first enter Prospect you will be placed in Scale Model Mode (SMM) which displays all your model geometry in front of you. This will always be the starting point for all your immersive experiences and where you will meet with other participants during a Meeting.

TutorialIf it’s your first time launching into that file you will be presented with a quick Tutorial on how to navigate. You have the option to do the tutorial, skip it at any time, or press F1 to relaunch it. If you’d like to disable the tutorial for all your experiences you can do so by going to the gear icon on the top of your Prospect Library or Launcher.

Model InteractionThere are several actions you can perform while in SMM:

Scaling: Within SMM you can scale the model up or down by moving your controllers apart and together again. Depending on your headset you’ll press different buttons:

HTC Vive: Press down on both of the controllers side bumpers

Oculus Rift: Press down on both of the Touch’s inside buttons with your middle fingers.

Rotating: Similar to scaling, rotate the model by moving your controllers while squeezing the buttons. Depending on your headset you’ll press different buttons:

HTC Vive: Press down on both of the controllers side bumpers

Oculus Rift: Press down on both of the Touch’s inside buttons with your middle fingers.

Sectioning: Select the Model Interaction icon from the menu and cut a section of your model - adjust the section plane axis by rotating your wrist and your controller. Sections will automatically be capped for better visual clarity.

Moving: To lift or lower the model, point at it with your right controller then press the side bumper for HTC Vive or inner button for Touch. Then move your controller hand, as shown below.

In addition to these model transformations, you can also adjust Sun Settings, Display Settings, Layers and much more by going to your toolbar and pointing and clicking to select, as shown below.

Entering the ModelNext, you can point at the model with your controller and select a location to begin your walkthrough. Teleportation will vary based on which controllers you have. For Oculus Rift, press and release the right joystick. For HTC Vive, press the thumb pad on the right controller. As you point at the model you'll see a blue avatar which represents where you will be teleported to. Refer to Navigation overview for more details.

You can return to Scale Model Mode any time by opening the Menu and selecting the Scale Model icon on the far bottom right of the toolbar.
